PulzAR: PS Vita’s next AR Play Blasts Off Next Month

We are excited to announce a captivating new addition to the Augmented Reality (AR) Play line-up next month with the release of PulzAR. PulzAR is a mind boggling, potentially Earth-shattering puzzle game that turns nearly any flat surface into an epic battle against time and a looming celestial event with the use of your AR Play cards.

You see, in PulzAR, the Earth is in grave danger. Somewhere just beyond our planet’s outer atmosphere, a series of colossal asteroids are spinning ever closer on a deadly collision course to wipe out humankind. So far, all attempts to divert their trajectory have failed. Now, in mankind’s desperate last stand against certain catastrophe, it’s up to you to command a network of explosive rockets and try to blast the asteroids into a harmless meteor shower before they reach Earth.

Using precision laser technology, you have only a limited time to program the guidance system using a series of reflectors, splitters, and filters that activate the nodes that will launch the rockets towards their targets. Once launched, you are able to follow the rocket, looking up with your PS Vita as it reaches beyond the atmosphere and into the vastness of space with only one purpose… to destroy some serious space rock! The fate of planet Earth rests with you. Good luck!

I like how Sony is trying in innovate with the AR cards. I see good things in the future if they keep it up. It’s annoying how people want Sony to try and use the things that they put into place but then gripe when they actually give it a go.

@2 what you need to do is have a wife/GF, sibling, etc. to move it for you when you call out the actions. I usually have my wife or daugthers help me cuz they like to watch. Still a head strap like the one those with harmonicas use would be awesome

Of course that’s how most will play it, but they show a lot of cards there that need to be aligned in a finite amount of time. If this game has any sort of difficulty to it, it’s gonna get frustrating not having the 2nd hand free.

Looks cool, it reminds me of the Reflection game for android :) I’m glad they are making more AR games. I hope we see some AR usage with actual retail and PSN games (like the wipeout ship viewer app thing they showed off a while ago)

OMGoodness, does anyone speak straight english here? Got a headache reading these comments. This game looks fun, but I hope its free. I really dont wanna spend too much money(if any at all) on a game that could and probably would get repetitive. Being repetitve doesnt make it boring, but it sure can make you feel like you wasted your money. Any word on wether or not there will be more AR cards in play in the future? I think that would be a great way to keep AR in interest. Kinda sucks to have to carry the cards around with you though. Espaecially when they warn you to not let them get bent before the game starts everytime.

It looks awesome. Can we expect the same kind of pricing as with Table Top Tanks? It would be great to have more low-priced games on Vita (it would show iOS lovers that Vita too can have awesome, low-priced games)

That’s what I forgot to purchase this morning. I need to go grab Table Top Tanks from the PS Store! It looks like it’ll be really fun.

Now as for this title… I have to hand it to the devs. The graphics in the images look really darn pretty. If this, and future AR games, can be priced at $2-$3, it’ll definitely be a #gamechanger for the Vita, as far as it being competition for iDevices. I’ve been more than happy with the retail/PSN offerings so far, but these cheap, fun little AR games bring a whole different experience to the table (lol). Can’t wait! :D

I’m all for more cheap games on PSN. Especially for PS Vita. So if this is cheap like Table Top Tanks, I’ll definitely find a replacement for my 02 card.

I hope that Sony is working on getting a bunch of iOS developers on board for the system. Angry Birds Mini seems to do well, based on the new Pulse. I’d imagine that an actual touch supported Angry Birds for PS Vita would do way better.

Table Top Tank os Awesome, I recommend to everyone that try to Play in multiplayer.
The price point is perfect, I have a IPhone and a IPad, but If I have a option (low price)
I always prefer to purchase games on VITA, that has decent controlls, mg friend list and
trophies.

I hope that others devs wake up to this, and Release more casual games at this price.
